2. Which plug-in will search for interlaced frames not by detecting the comb, but by comparing the fields?

The problem is that when I burn the dvd using AVS Video Editor, the dvd is not recognized on my brothers mac. Works just fine in a dvd player and on a pc, just not on a mac. Is there a different software I need to allow the video to be played on all 3 formats or am I doing something wrong?

Wed, 21 Feb 2018 01:41:03 GMTHi Guys,

Sorry for the question, but this season "Newbie" is the local. rsrsrs

My question is the follows. I bought the complete House MD series at Bluray. I intend to make a backup to preserve the original disks while keeping the qualities intact - without compression or changes.

My question is how to properly nominate as viewed in the torrents files and to know if I need to do some more procedure until finalizing the file.

My objective:
Save the episodes in MKV
Keep the legends of my language (Portuguese)
Maintain original audio (English) and leave option also Portuguese

Observations (according to Bluray):
Original audio is DTS 5.1
Audio in Portuguese is DTS 2.0 Stereo

My procedure
1) I used AnyDVD HD to copy all the contents of the Bluray disk
2) I used MakeMKV to save, separately, each episode
3) I used MKVToolNix to remove some subtitles and audios that I did not care about

So when saving the file, I gave the following name (as an example):
House.MD.S01E01.Everybody.Lies.1080p.x264.DTS5.1-ENG-PTB.mkv

doubt:
1) What would be the correct file name: x264 or h264 ???
(I always see torrents a few times with the name x264 and other times h264)

2) Do I need to do some other procedure until I create the final file or, using MKVToolNix, is the last step?
(I say this because I see a lot about HandBrake, ffdshow, etc etc ... do I have to use them at some stage ????)

When I convert it with Handbrake in MP4 or MKV, I cannot get it to look at smooth. I'm trying .264/.265. .265 looks the same quality in terms of capturing noise details, but it will not playback as smoothly.

If I compress without deinterlace, I get annoying interlacing.

Yes, I am embarrassed to admit I do not understand why my AVI plays without interlacing, but a converted file does.

I've tried constant same FPS, higher quality, everything.

What amazes me is no matter how much I Google, I cannot find anyone who has suggested settings to solve this issue so maybe there is no way to make an AVI look as good in any format?

I tried to convert mkv movie into xvid using megui and i have some doubts in lame mp3 audio settings. I set lame mp3 "scratchpad" ->sample rate keep original -> ABR 80 in MeGUI (pls check IMG 3)

I've tried numerous tools from EXIF tool to Lightroom etc and can't get google photos to read the GPS data.

I understand this maybe an issue with google photos but thought others may have had some luck doing this.

Thanks in advance.

I like to have a special video effect where many frames for let say 2 or 5 seconds are overlapping each other. The camera will be focusing on a fix point and if for example a bird or any other fast moving objects is passing it will leave a trail of the same moving subject with a persistence of a certain define time. For example you will see the same bird in different position for a sequence of 3 to 5 seconds while the background is fix. I have seen a video of this effect but lost the link. I am using win 7 64bit and have installed Movie Studio platinum and AVS video editor. Many thanks.

Regards,

Yves

I checked it in vlc, mpv, and mpc hc. All three of them display 2 hrs 55 mins runtime. Can someone tell me why the video duration changed after adding audio track?

Sat, 17 Feb 2018 02:25:09 GMTI have some backup tapes which should contain WAV audio and MJPEG video that was created on the Panasonic Postbox nonlinear editing suite back in the late '90s. I'm curious to see whether it's possible to extract the original files and play them back for historical/archive purposes.

Using an OpenSUSE Linux system and dd I was able to read back files from the tape. But when I look at the files, I don't see any expected header data, although there's definitely a regular pattern to the start of the files. If I try opening them in VLC it seems to think they're media files but it doesn't play anything back.

It's possible the files are compressed or encoded in some fashion, or I used incorrect settings when I read the files in.

I've attached a dump of the first 30 files on the tape in the hopes that someone may recognize the patterns or have other ideas about what steps I could try.

I press the record button while a mp4 file is playing.
The record button turns blue and seems working.
When I press it again I cannot find any saved file
not in the folder I set in preferences not any where in my pc.
I was able to record using previous VLC version.

So how could I save what I am recording?

Thu, 15 Feb 2018 21:35:29 GMTMy Dad has a 4K TV from Sony that uses the Android operating system. I sometimes get pictures or videos from the internet on my computer to show him. Now he's asking me if there's a way to copy those items from my flash drive to his TV so he can keep some of them. I noticed under "Storage and Reset" that the TV has a capacity of over 8GB of storage space. However, I can't find a way to copy any of my drive's content over into the storage area of the TV.

I've done Google searches for this problem and have seen advice about apps that can be used. However, my Dad doesn't have internet at his house, so the TV is not connected to it. It's just "stand-alone". So that seems to rule out downloading an external app. to it. Also, I've tried connecting my smartphone to the TV without success, so it doesn't look like I can do anything with that either. Isn't there a setting on the TV that allows files to be copied from an external device over to the TV?

Thu, 15 Feb 2018 21:00:25 GMTI'm creating MP4 videos that are made from OBS screen recordings of PowerPoint Presentations that have been trimmed and combined with a separate voice-over file. This process is somewhat convoluted, but it is exactly what I need to be doing for various reasons, so solutions that attempt to bypass this process are not what I'm looking for.

Originally I was importing the screen recordings and audio files into VSDC video editor (free) with settings that are displayed on the attached image. This output small size, high quality files, however, I have since run into way too many problems with VDSC including not being able to view files at all to failing every time I try to output new ones. So I purchased PowerDirector16 (I put PD15 in the image, but it's 16, I just checked, sorry) and put the same files/simple trim edits into it, then used what I thought were comparable output settings (noting that I am a complete amateur with video editing and have no idea what most of them mean). Unlike VDSC, I'm not running into any bugs, but the output is either a huge file or terrible quality.

If PowerDirector Kbps bitrate is set to the allowable MP4 range of 3000+, the file looks okay, but it's huge (over 4 gigs for a 50 min file for midrange Kbps settings). In VSDC I had around a 600Kbps rate and ended up with great looking files that were over an hour long, so I set the PowerDirector output to comparably low bitrates by editing the custom profile.ini file directly. However, when I set a 700 Kbps rate I still ended up with a much larger file that looked like blocky crap (see attached image). All of this leads me to believe that there is some other setting in the PowerDirector output choices that will help me make the simple PowerPoint animation with static background look good with a low file size.

Can someone who is knowledgeable about output settings and the type of video I am trying to output help me figure out a way to adjust the PowerDirector output settings to produce a comparable file to the VSDC files I used to make (but can no longer get to work due to VSDC bugs? It would be annoying if I paid for PowerDirector and had to get something else because of output option limitations, so ideally I can use PowerDirector options for this fix.

Please view the attached image for the output settings in each case. Thanks in advance for reviewing this post.
